Figures in this table have been weighted, for further details please refer to the Methodological note on page 5.
'Believed unemployed' includes graduates from HEIs that are looking for employment, further study or training or are due to start a job in the next month plus graduates from FEC who have no arrangement for further study or employment.
'Other' destinations include those who are unable to work, looking after the home or family, taking time out in order to travel, or are not otherwise included under an alternative heading.
Note: Due to the introduction of the Teacher Induction Scheme in 2002, most teaching graduates going into teaching posts in Scotland now fall into the temporary UK employment category which skews postgraduate figures towards temporary UK employment. See note 10 of notes to editors on page 19.
